dc.description.abstract |
Although prison inmates are often seen as burdens on society, as their criminal
activity has made them unproductive citizens, rehabilitation programmes within
prisons give inmates the ability to become productive citizens upon their release. Such
programmes, which focus on providing inmates with skills and knowledge, have the
potential to greatly affect their integration back into society post-release, thus
decreasing the likelihood that they will commit similar crimes in the future. However,
because of the increasing number of recidivism in our various prisons, the feasibility
of the rehabilitation programmes in our prisons is been questioned. This study
examines prisoner’s access to the rehabilitation programmes at the Nsawam Medium
Security Prisons. The nature of rehabilitation programmes available at the nsawam
Medium Security prisons, the policies underpinning prisoner rehabilitation and the
benefits of prisoner rehabilitation. The key findings from the study were presented in
themes. Based on an analysis of qualitative interviews, the study concludes with
recommendations for policy makers and stakeholders, which focused on enhancing
existing prisoner rehabilitation programming and networking to sustain their success. |
